Civic Leaders Organize to Bring Famous Operas in English
and to Give Local Talent Chance; First Offering,
'Bartered Bride,' on October 31

Detroit nationality groups, in collaboration with a com-
mittee of music loving citizens, have formed an organization
to be known as "Detroit Friends of Opera."
The successful work of the
Mayor Jeffries is honorary chairman. Fred M. Butzel and
American Palestine Trading Dean Waldo Lessenger of Wayne University are chairmen.

described by nationally-promi-
nent leaders at two gatherings
here, on Sunday and Monday
evenings.
The two events took place at
dinners at the Detroit-Leland
hotel. The Sunday evening
affair, attended • by stockholders,
heard reports on AMPAL work
from Dr. Albert K. Epstein of
Chicago, president; Edmund I.
Kaufmann of Washington, chair-
man of the board, and Abraham
Dickenstein, financial director of
the corporation. An interesting
address was delivered by Dr.
Haym Greenberg of New York,
editor of Jewish Frontier and
Yiddissher Kemfer.
Returns to Chicago
All but Dr. Epstein, who had
to return to Chicago, also spoke
at the Monday evening affair for
non-stockholders. Morris Lieb-
erman presided at the Sunday
affair and Abe Kasle on Monday
evening.
The speakers spoke with en-
thusiasm of the achievements in
Palestine and the aid given finan-
cial undertakings by AMPAL.
It was indicated that the Pal-
estine Workers' Bank and the
Jewish National Fund were ex-
tended loans which are being re-
paid and that 22 tractors were
sent to Palestine during the year.
Dr. Greenberg, in an analysis
of Jewish achievements in Eretz
Israel, showed that Palestine has
been far more successful in finan-
cial as well as colonization pro-
jects than any other colonization
enterprise, including even that
undertaken by the United States
Government in Alaska.
Referring to the recent Ameri-
can Jewish Conference, Dr.
Greenberg admonished his audi-
ences that Jews must be pre-
pared to fulfill the ideas incor-
porated in the historic decisions
if the post-war era is not to be
a sad one for Israel.

Mesdames L. Morris, D. Emmer,
J. Diem and B. Ruby.
Those desiring to join the un-
its are asked to call Mrs. Emmer,
